University of Virginia School of Law alumnus Michael Cody and civil rights leader Julian Bond, a history professor in UVA's College of Arts & Sciences, shared their personal stories about Martin Luther King Jr. in a discussion at the UVA Law School.
Cody's law firm represented King during the Memphis sanitation workers march, and Cody — a 1961 graduate of the Law School -- met with King the day before his death. Bond, a former NAACP chair who teaches in the Corcoran Department of History, knew King while a student at Atlanta's Morehouse College and was socially acquainted with him throughout the course of the Civil Rights Movement.
